About Me

First new card for the Sacred Beast structure deck has been revealed, and its the debut of an anime-only card.
Jigen Yuugou Satsu / Dimension Fusion Destruction Spell Normal
(1) Special Summon 1 “Phantom”* Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, by banishing its materials from your hand, field, and/or GY, ignoring its Summoning conditions. You take no damage from battles involving the Special Summoned monster. If you control “Uria, Lord of Searing Flames”, “Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder’, or “Raviel, Lord of Phantasms”, your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to this card’s activation.
*Note: Due to weirdness in how the Sacred Beasts were translated from the OCG to the TCG, this could theoretically be abused to unintendedly summon other fusion monsters such as Chimera the Mythical Flying Beast, who is considered a Phantom Beast by rule text. So, expect errata changes when it makes it over to the west. Currently, in the OCG this card can be used to only summon Armityle and Trilojig.
Been testing this on Duel Monsters Genesis, and I can say this for sure makes summoning Armityle much easier, now that you can have his materials also in the hand or GY. Means you only need to use 1-2 Dark Summoning Beasts now to set him up. The no battle damage buff also covers one of Armityle's gaping flaws, but not the other - a big stinking lack of protection, leaving us still relying on Fallen Paradise. The Speed Spell 4 clause for having one of the materials on the field is little consolation if it can still be Raigeki'd the next turn.
The wording of "Phantom" monsters could be hinting at a retrain of Armityle, or other chimeric fusions of the beasts, so we'll just have to wait and see. The deck will include the 3 Sacred Beasts and Armityle as reprints.
